LuvU4Ever: A Moment in Time Romance, #1

By Joan Reeves

LuvU4Ever. That's what was engraved on the gold heart David gave Noelle when he proposed before they'd even graduated from high school.

 

Cut off by both their families, their love sustained them and they managed to survive. Years of hard work found them successful and still in love. At least, Noelle knew she was still in love with David. After overhearing a snippet of his phone conversation, she's having doubts about David's commitment to her.

 

"I told you to never call me at home."

 

What happened to his promise to love her forever? Her life is unraveling, and she doesn't know what to do about her marriage. Those nine little words destroyed her happiness. Have they also destroyed her marriage? Or has David done that all by himself?

 

What happened to the forever love they had? Her heart feels as if it's breaking. Now she faces the biggest decision of her life. Will she ignore what she heard and act as if nothing is wrong? Will she lash out and get some kind of payback to teach him a lesson? Will she choose love and forgiveness? Or will she simply walk away?

 

Secrets, heartaches, and a second chance at love will keep you turning the pages until you reach the satisfying ending. 

 

Each short story in A Moment in Time Romance series by New York Times bestselling author Joan Reeves introduces new characters while bringing back the heroes and heroines from previous stories. When there's not enough leisure time to read a long novel, try a steamy but heartwarming romance short story from this series.

LuvU4Ever

STARRING

Noelle Franklin Morales, a woman who’s come undone.

David Morales, her husband and her love since they met in high school.

Once, life had been a bowl of cherries. Now the cherries were gone, and Noelle’s life was in the pits.

She pressed her forehead to the cold window glass and stared at the snowflakes drifting past the hotel window. By the time she left this room, her marriage would be over. Her life would be over because she couldn’t imagine living without David. Yet, she couldn’t imagine staying with him either. Not since nine little words had destroyed her world.

I told you to never call me at home.

So what was she going to do? Leave him? Stay and grow embittered? Sorrow changed to anger. Maybe she should teach him how it felt to be betrayed.

By the time David walked through the door, expecting to find his girlfriend in the hotel room, would Noelle know what to do?

PRAISE

for

LuvU4Ever

I love a good short story with a beginning, middle and strong ending and 'LuvU4Ever' delivers with no cliffhangers to cheat the reader. I can relate to Noelle taking care of her mother when she is sick and away from her husband as I have done it several times for both my parents and it does put stress on the best relationship with a spouse. 'LuvU4Ever' is based on a giant misunderstanding and David soon sets Noelle right with a perfect gift. 'LuvU4Ever' is one short story I would recommend to all lovers of romance! —Jane Jones, Top 1000 Reviewer

I devoured this story. The emotions tugged at my heartstrings and didn’t let go until the very end. Fantastic story! —Karen Kelley, Bestselling Romance Author

What a wonderful short story. It is amazing the conclusions we can jump to and what lack of communication can do to a marriage. What a great story. Perfect for a quick get-away from reality! —Angel’s Mommy Review

A poignant, well-written story about how a marriage can go off track—with a satisfying ending! —Loves Reading Review

It's a lovely story about a couple falling out of love. When things look like they're falling apart, we get our twist and a HEA! Makes you awww! and believe in true love! —Carol Iris KT Review

[Debbie DiFiore · Rating: 3 out of 5 stars]

Too short. But a cute story about a woman who is afraid her marriage is over. I really did this story. Wish it was longer.
